In 1995, trance softened and started to really get epic and beautiful. Platipus, Harthouse, Rising High and other labels were making a melodic symphony out of what had initially been a relatively staid and simple genre.

Sublight: “Falling” Classic DJ set
A classic party set filled with happiness. This is, to some extent, where it began. Learning how to bring all of these ecstatic sounds together into something that told a story, brought beauty forward, and raised emotions. And once I started, I could never stop.
Sublight: “Alone, with Rotterdam” Classic DJ set
That time when you ran out of serotonin, but still wanted to go hard.
Sublight: “Rising” Classic DJ Set
Quintessential early 90’s fare, when you could mix genres with reckless abandon and it was all an expected part of the experience. From Psychic TV to Orbital to Kenny Larkin and Mark Gage’s Vapourspace project, this one swings from ambient to deep to soft to minimal to melodic all in the space of a 45 minute single side of a cassette. Recorded direct to cassette from a crappy Radio Shack mixer, just like you’d expect from 1994.
